What and Why?

developers.google.com/fit

Google Fit is an open ecosystem that allows developers to

upload fitness data to a central repository where users can

access their data from different devices and apps in one

location :

Fitness apps can store data from any wearable or sensor

Fitness apps can access data created by any app

User's fitness data is persisted when they upgrade their

fitness devices.

Integration/Development

Development can be done using REST api (limited)

or Android SDK. Can also be used in Hybrid apps

Can also be used in server based applications

leveraging OAuth2 tokens

Would require a google account

Tricky to setup

Use a device during testing for actual results

G+ community is very helpful
